S'Funny how decisions you make years ago subtely affect happenings today. Approximately 4 years ago, Peedy and I were moving into Orangefield Avenue. Could have been anywhere else. But because we ended up in that house, that is now where Phil Hill (Teen Idols, Screeching Weasel, Even in Blackouts, The Queers and more) is staying. See, the lovely Jemima who has moved in with Jo in my absence is now playing bass for the Teen Idols who have an upcoming tour. And so Phil is living in my bedroom, in Orangefield Avenue, while teaching the set to Mima. Which he wouldn't be doing if it weren't for my Five Years In the Past self. Well, I mean he would, but not in that house.
The best bit about this is that it took Jo a wee while to twig who the guy in Jemima's band that welcomed her home from Singapore actually was. She asked him if he was a full time rock star. I love Jo.
Other things of note:
- 'Are you going to see the ducks in the park?' or Blackbird.
- A drinking chocolate - related asthma attack that resulted in near death.
- Cathal McDonagh is very bad at cards because he never learned as a child how to hustle.

ha! good time to pick up the bicycle then, eh? ;)
eh, yeah!
wow.
since then, even more little decisions have impacted me so much more hugely than this one! like, going to that one BBQ that one afternoon led me to a conversation that meant that I was able to come back to New Zealand for another year or two.
